December 17th, 2011

So, had a weird conversation back in my work area with a couple co-workers and my manager.

Someone said "Arg" in response to having a report formatted incorrectly which lead to the thought it was pulling wrong data (it was displaying 0, which was rounded down from 0.14).   My manager made a reference to talk like a pirate day being last month.   There was a bit of hearing issue when he said it because I was focusing on something else, and I thought he said "Talk like a Pilot" day.  Well, did a little research and the Wright Flyer had it's first flight on December 17th, 1903.

Unfortunately with a little Googling I found there is already a reference to Talk like a Pilot day, and it is May 19th.

I hate thinking I have an awesome idea, and come to find out it's already been done, as far back as to 2007 at least (site I found was listing 2009 as the third annual talk like a pilot day).   Guess I'll just bring this idea back into the hanger.
